Dolfan in NYC Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Well Jesus Christ... it looks like we've got a legit, normal, regular season coming up! (Yes, I know about the weeks off for Beijing, shut up.) Anyway, real hockey starts tomorrow! I'm debating on getting the NHL Package as the Panthers are on US national TV... scarcely. And in news that should make @RIPPA pants-free for the day: That's a lot of Krona! Good for Mika on cashing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure ESPN+ now streams just about every game for $7 a month so no need for Center Ice. Edited October 11, 2021 by sabremike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 When they weren't crosschecking guys headfirst into the boards, Tampa was coming back from 3 goals behind - twice - to beat Detroit in OT. Wild game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Dylan Larkin has been suspended over game for punching Mathieu Joseph last night. The punch was in retaliation for being crosschecked into the boards. Larkin is unable to practice and likely would have missed a game anyway from the hit the NHL had decided was legal. Completely ridiculous. The backstory is that Larkin spent 8 weeks in a cervical collar after Jamie Benn hit him across the neck in a dirty play that ended Larkin's season last year - another play the NHL decided was legal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paused for a couple minutes - when it resumed, it started at the beginning of the game. When you fast forward, the timeline disappears after a chips seconds so you can't see how far you've fast forwarded. Half the time when fast forwarding, it ignores button presses and keeps on fast forwarding. No button shortcuts to skip to the beginnings of periods. And that's not even talking about the horrible user interface that makes it impossible to go in the past to watch a previous game (only the latest game for a team is available). And you can't hide scores. So, so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it looks like I'd have to pay again for ESPN+ to get it through Hulu? Also don't see a way to get the yearly price instead of monthly.
